  • Title: [Mondor's disease of penis: A case report].
    Author: Marsaudon E, Legal C, Gayoux D, Weber O.
    Journal: Rev Med Interne; 2016 Sep; 37(9):636-8. PubMed ID: 26971966.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Mondor's disease is a rare superficial thrombophlebitis, historically involving the thoracic venous system of women. However, it can occur in both gender and all over the skin. CASE REPORT: We report a 40-year-old man with type one diabetes who presented with a thrombosis of the superficial dorsal vein of the penis that he treated as a fungal infection. Treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and low molecular weight heparin contributed to a favorable outcome in 2 weeks. CONCLUSION: Pathogenesis and treatment of Mondor's disease remain incompletely dominated. Some predisposing factors have been highlighted in the literature. It might be interesting to add diabetes, due to its frequent pelvic problems leading to a potential venous inflammatory trigger.
